Brumaru Gets Away From One

MattHansen

Niveau 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Pedro Lopes raised to 50,000 from the button and Felipe Morelli called from the small blind before Alexandru Brumaru came along from the big blind.

The flop was 6♣2♣4♣ and action checked to Lopes for another bet of 50,000. Both players called and the turn was J♦.

Morelli and Brumaru checked again before Lopes continued for 180,000. It was a quick fold for Felipe, but Brumaru went deep into the tank to consider calling for the rest of his chips.

After a few moments of thought and three time banks, Brumaru got away from it and Lopes took the pot.

Meanwhile, Adrian State and Vicent Bosca have busted on other tables.

Pichierri's Bluff Didn't Work

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Khazret Nebezhev opened from early position to 55,000 chips. He then saw Alessandro Pichierri three-bet to 150,000 from the hijack. The other players folded, and Nebezhev called.

The dealer revealed a flop of 3♣2♥6♦, where Pichierri made a continuation bet of 65,000 chips. However, Nebezhev chose not to call; instead, he opted for a check-raise to 165,000 chips. Pichierri waited a few seconds, then shoved for approximately 550,000 chips. Nebezhev quickly called.

Alessandro Pichierri: A♠K♣
Khazret Nebezhev: 8♥8♠

Pichierri attempted to bluff, but it didn't work out. He still had a straight draw with the 4♠ on the turn. But the 7♥ on the river didn't complete it. Nebezhev celebrated with a "Si!" while Pichierri left the table.

Song Dusted as Slow Play Goes Wrong

Tboss

Niveau 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Alan Ferraro opened 50,000 in middle position and Stephen Song flatted the small blind before Wouter Beltz came along in the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of Q♣9♦8♠ and all three players checked to the 9♠ turn. Song checked and Beltz bet 105.000. Ferraro called before Song put in the check-raise all-in for 300,000. Beltz moved all-in as well forcing Ferraro out of the pot and both hands were tossed on their backs.

"I have a boat," said Beltz as he whipped his cards over.

Stephen Song: A♥A♣
Wouter Beltz: 8♥8♣

Song was unable to catch one of the remaining aces as the 3♣ rolled off on the river, eliminating him from the tournament.

Chaoui Loses His Last Flip

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Left with only a few chips after he lost a pot against Fournier, Mehdi Chaoui went amost all in from the cutoff, as he kept a single blue chip worth 5,000 in front of him. On the button, Ka Kwan Lau called, as well as another player in the blinds. But on the flop 6♣J♦6♦, Lau bet and made his opponent fold.

Mehdi Chaoui: A♦K♣
Ka Kwan Lau: 9♠9♦

Chaoui still had a few outs to triple up, but the 2♠ and the 3♦ completed the board. Already 9th of EPT Paris this year, he finished 52nd here in Barcelona.

In the cutoff, Antoine Labat moved all in for 225,000 chips. Simon Wiciak on the button called, as well as Kaspar Kaisel in the big blind.

On the flop Q♠2♦4♣, Kaisel and Wiciak checked. Then on the turn 3♣, Kaisel bet 240,000 and made Wiciak fold.

Antoine Labat: A♣2♥
Kaspar Kaisel: 10♣10♠

Labat couldn't find the ace or the deuce he needed on the river J♥, and he was eliminated in 53rd place for €27,250.

Akkari Drills The Turn (And River) to Eliminate Ascone

OHairDJ

Niveau 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mihai Niste opened to 40,000 from middle position and was called by Andre Akkari in the small blind. Agostino Ascone then shoved for 160,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Niste, but a call from Akkari to put Ascone at risk.

Agostino Ascone: 6♣6♥
Andre Akkari: 4♠4♣

The 2♣J♣J♥ flop left Ascone with a commanding lead in the hand, but the 4♦ turn vaulted Akkari into the lead with a full house, which left Ascone fuming. The 4♥ improved Akkari to unnecessary quads and Ascone was eliminated in brutal fashion.

Oliveira Calls For It All

MattHansen

Niveau 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action was heads up with around 300,000 with a full board of K♠3♦4♥2♦4♣ when Gustavo Oliveira bet 225,000 and Carl Shaw shoved with more from the next seat over.

Oliveira went deep into the tank and used four time banks before he tossed out a chip to call. Shaw turned over 9♦4♠, good enough to beat Oliveira's K♣7♦ and send him out of the tournament.

Meanwhile, a string of eliminations has left the tournament with 54 players.
